I find it helpful to avoid using the word 'you' unless the feedback is actually personal.



This is very useful. I've noticed this helps keep feelings smooth between my wife and I as well even if it is actually personal feedback. Avoiding saying the word "you" makes it easier to not come off as attacking the other person. It's already hard enough to be on the receiving end of negative feedback.
